Although lianas play an important role in the functioning of forest ecosystems, they tend to have negative influence on the forest when they become highly abundant. Consequently, long-term monitoring of liana dynamics is necessary for effective forest management and biodiversity conservation. Nonetheless, only a few long-term monitoring studies have been conducted, resulting in non-consensus patterns. We determined the patterns of liana community dynamics in tropical moist semi-deciduous forest stands with different management histories (SS: selection system, TSS: tropical shelterwood system, PES: post-exploitation system). Liana dynamics (lianas with dbh ≥ 1 cm) was quantified in three 1-ha plots randomly established in each of the forest management regimes in 2008, and then repeated in 2019. Our findings showed that liana diversity decreased from 2008 to 2019 in the SS, while that in the TSS and PES increased within the same period. Species composition and the abundance of some species shifted significantly after 11 years of liana dynamics. Total liana abundance in the forest management regimes increased significantly from 2008 to 2019, with the abundance increase in the range of 61 – 108 %. Species-specific recruitment and mortality rates varied considerably in each of the forest management regimes. The SS regime stand recorded the highest annual recruitment rate (9.38% year−1 ha−1), whereas that of the PES regime stand was the lowest (7.63% year−1 ha−1). The annual mortality rate of the forest management regimes was highest in the SS (4.89% year−1 ha−1) and lowest within the PES (2.87% year−1 ha−1). The observed changes in liana communities may be partly related to declining amount of rainfall and increased canopy gaps during the 11-year period. Our findings contradict a decreasing liana trend of previous studies, showing that liana dynamics is more local rather than continental. Our study has implications for forest management and biodiversity conservation.

加纳不同管理历史的湿润半落叶林林木藤本植物群落的时间动态

尽管藤本植物在森林生态系统的功能中起着重要作用,但当藤本植物变得高度丰富时,它们往往会对森林产生负面影响。因此,长期 监测藤本植物动态对于有效的森林管理和生物多样性保护是必要的。尽管如此,仅进行了一些长期的监测研究,导致出现了共识模式。我们确定了具有不同管理历史(SS:选择系统,TSS:热带防护林系统,PES:后开发系统)的热带湿润半落叶林林木藤本植物群落动态的模式。藤本植物动态(dbh≥1 cm的藤本植物)在2008年在每种森林管理制度中随机建立的3个1公顷地块中进行量化,然后在2019年重复进行。我们的发现表明,SS中藤本植物多样性从2008年到2019年减少,而同期的TSS和PES有所增加。藤本植物动态变化11年后,物种组成和某些物种的丰度发生了显着变化。从2008年到2019年,森林管理制度中的藤本植物总丰度显着增加,丰度增加了61%至108%。在每种森林管理制度中,针对特定物种的招聘和死亡率差异很大。党卫军政权的年度招聘率最高(9.38%-1 ha -1),而PES政权的最低(7.63%年-1 ha -1)。森林管理制度的年死亡率在SS中最高(4.89%年-1 ha -1),在PES中最低(2.87%年-1 ha -1)。在11年期间,观察到的藤本植物群落变化可能部分与降雨减少和冠层间隙增加有关。我们的发现与先前研究中藤本植物趋势的减少相矛盾,这表明藤本植物的动态作用更多是局部的,而不是大陆的。我们的研究对森林管理和生物多样性保护具有重要意义。
